What are you having problems with exactly, some pics might help but if your using the stock link mounts and your links are even length side to side you should be good.

You can hook up 3 of the links and not the 4th?

You may need to use different length links.

Looks like your upper link on the left (in the picture ) is longer than the right. Try unbolt in it from the chassis by the trans and see if that would alow it to center.

Or its that the right is longer pulling it over to the right side. I would remove one at a time and see what happens.

I would agree that the upper links dont match.

Didn't mix up a link with the tie rod by any chance?

Looks like the chassis is too wide, what happens if you take the shocks off. Can you shorten the crossmembers and pinch the front in.

I don't think you want to run a Wraith skid, it makes the chassis too wide and the shocks are pinched. Try it with an SCX skid and cross members.

Nothing wrong with using the wraith skid, you just need to narrow the front and rear of the chassis for shock and turning clearance.
